Oprah looked pretty pissed off making her statement about the recent allegations made by parents. She asked them in the future to call her, instead of bringing their concerns to the media. Now I'm just speculating, but I just don't get the feeling that is what happened. Maybe they did contact the school and got no reply or were told to hush up. But again, it is speculation.

On another forum, one for people who have been abused by their significant other, someone posted about creating your own reality. One of the abusees had been dismissed by an elitist who wanted to know why she created her reality of being abused. Many of the posters on that forum agree that we create our own reality, but don't believe that this actually means we create suffering, and many

I was struck by how articulate, healthy and beautiful these "poor" girls were, and how savvy they were regarding pop stars With the schools visiting rules, if a child has a large family - more than 4 siblings, perhaps - does that mean they would have to wait another month to see them?

Oprah's self-celebrated Leadership Academy is only months old and already parents have aired concerns. This is the second report of parent's dissatisfaction. The first, a student was not allowed to leave to attend a family member's funeral. One can understand restricting comings and goings, but parents seem to have valid complaints.

Not surprising and very disgusting. It should be obvious (but no one will admit it) to the world that the Leadership Academy is a temple to Oprah. She is all about Africa but dismisses an important part of Africa's culture. Those poor pretty little girls and families have been love-bombed.

Thanks for posting the salon link. That Leadership Academy show was just plain yucky. These kids looked like child models, and it was all about stuff and Oprah being very happy with herself. These little kids knew all the celebrities that attended the ribbon cutting. Oprah didn't feel the need to put her dollars into local neighborhoods because apparently the US poor kids only want i

Well, what I've been finding in almost all discussions about The Secret is that I just "don't get it". That is a stock answer. When I asked one person to elaborate on the idea of small abused children attracting child abuse, they said they attracted the abuse because of bad karma from another life.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Proponents of The Secret answered some of my questions, such as how did the victims of 9\11 attract what happened to them, and how does a small child who is being sexually abused attract that? The answers: 9/11 - We collectively caused that 9/11 to happen. It is what our society attracts. The child has the option of telling a teacher or a cop. If they are scared and cannot or will no
